I think it's safe to say that there's a general consensus that Functor
not being a superclass of Monad is a regrettable historical ward that
ought to be fixed... the problem with fixing it is that it opens up a
whole can of worms, only starting with whether or not Pointed should be
a class by itself: While the Proper Way might be to include all of
category-extras in the Prelude, the Proper Way might not at all be the
Right Way.
